Sutures

Dissolvable Sutures
There are dissolvable stitches in place. They will loosen or melt away on their own at some point during the next week. If they come loose even on the day of surgery, do not worry. If it’s been more than a week, and your stitches remain intact, you can gently attempt to brush them away.

Non-Dissolvable Sutures
Your stitches will need to be removed in 2 weeks when you return to our office.

IV Sedation

If you’ve undergone IV sedation, you must not operate a motor vehicle, hazardous machinery or make important decisions for a minimum of 18 hours or longer if drowsiness or dizziness persists. You must also not consume alcohol and/or other drugs with sedative properties for a minimum of 18 hours or longer if drowsiness or dizziness persists.
